To develop the norm of three-word recall and logical memory recall tests for Japanese, 420 rural community dwellers age from 40 to 89 years old participated in this study. They were given the three-word recall test and the logical memory test as a part of cognitive ability assessment test battery. The norms for the three-word recall and the logical memory that related to age and sex were developed. The performance of three-word recall and logical memory performances were declined gradually as age increased. The age-related changes in performance of the three-word recall and logical memory were not necessarily identical as well as the effect of education and sex difference. The usability of the three-word recall and the logical memory recall was discussed.
